All America, all the time. Sit down, buckle up and get ready for the Dan Bongino show. You want to talk about a stacked news day, you got acting Attorney General Todd Blanche up on the Hill. Hopefully that goes smoothly. Of course the Democrats will have their anticipated breakdown. You've got renewed hostilities over in Iran. You've got these Democrats, socialists, fake socialists of America going out there humiliating themselves. They're fake social. Listen to me. Before we even start the show, this is like getting me going on the mask thing and it'll derail the whole freaking show. But this is super important. I did Hannity show last night, did his radio show yesterday as well. Sean was nice enough to have me on both yesterday. And I got Vince coming up later going to do an interview with your favorite morning podcaster. Again, you hear every couple of weeks, Vince Colonnades. And this topic came up, folks, this is horrendous for the country. That's a. I hate the use of full stop, but if there was ever a full stop, this is it. The fact that a bunch of America hating communists who want to destroy our economy, our political system, your liberties and freedoms is a freaking disaster of epic proportions. It's horrendous. But when you're in the content creation business, they really do make it easy to put the show, put a show together. They're just such fakes and phonies and frauds and they elicit such an emotional like rage response from liberty loving Americans who are like, correct. You probably feel the same way I do. Like, how can you be this stupid? How can you be this stupid to try to reinsert for the umpteen thousandth time communism in the United States where it's destroyed and eviscerated every single thing it's touched. How can you be this freaking dumb? These shows, if you want a little inside baseball to put together an hour and 20, an hour and 30 hour and 40 minute show takes about four or five hours if you're doing it right. And I think anyone in the business from Ben Shapiro to Dana Lash to Steve Crowder would tell you the same. It takes a long time. And that doesn't even count their work, the production team's work. When you're putting together a show in this election cycle with this crop of socialist fraud imbeciles who won't even live by the rurals. Tax the rich. I don't want to pay taxes. Aren't you rich too? Yeah, I'm rich. So you want to tax the rich. You are rich and you don't Want to pay taxes? To put together a show takes half that time. It really does. It's a tragedy for the country, but it makes it unbelievably easy to produce content because all you've got to do is play their own words. I think we should defund the police. What do you want them to use, dipshits? Water pistols? What are you, stupid? You're going to walk in the middle of a gang shootout in inner city Chicago and go, hold on, I got to juice up my mortar pistol? Anybody got a deer park? Got a lady coming up later in the show. I think we should have DEI in medical schools. That's a great freaking idea. My appendix burst. I'm going to die of an infection. Hold on. I need to interview the potential surgeon. Sir, what did you write on your DEI statement about your appreciation for various cultures and your hatred for Western civilization? Ma', am, you've got about 30 minutes before you die of sepsis. I need to know. I need to know where you stand on dei. Nobody's doing that, bro. Nobody's doing that shit. No one. They're Sinos. Sinos. The hell is socialists in name only. They're not really socialists. As I was telling Hannity last night, none of these people are real socialists. They all own private property. They avoid paying taxes. A lot of them are really stupid. Super rich. He's like, you want to get rich? You know what a good. You know what's a good idea? Go. You did. You would think. He was thinking. He was thinking. He's always trying to get me back on track. Folks, we wouldn't be celebrating America250 it wasn't for a strong foundation set by the framers.

I do want to cover this quickly because I have a lot of direct obvious working experience with acting Attorney General. Hopefully he's confirmed soon to be Attorney General Todd Blanche up on the Hill today in the confirmation hear. Of course the Democrats are just going to bring up all kinds of bullshit because they just don't like the results. Folks, I am never going to stop being a results guy. You want me to get into like, you know, the emotion. You can be emotional about issues but I'm not going to be dissuaded from results by emotion. I'm never going to do. That's what the left does, you know, coexist tolerance. Except when it comes to like the Jews and Asians that you discriminate against in college applications. Like they're full of shit. I'm not going to do that. I'm a results guy and I'm seeing this now too. Well, been seeing it for a while with the doomers and the grifters. But folks, it pains me to say this and it's not you. I because I read the chat and I get your emails and your DMs and stuff. I talk to a lot of folks out there. The obsession with just instant gratification over long term results is starting to filter into the mainstream of the party and I think it's a mistake because the best results are the ones that are done correctly and take time. I want to show you what I mean. There's going to be pros and cons people who like Todd Blanche for attorney general. People don't I'm just going to tell you results wise, I was there working with him and he was the dag, the deputy attorney general. And honestly the DAG runs most of the Justice Department. Not that the attorney, the attorney general is an important position clearly. But Todd ran the place for the, you know, the first year I was there in the Trump administration with the bureau, the results on the border, the historic crime drops, the public corruption cases, the antifa case, the BLM case, the SPLC case, the Fulton County, Georgia ongoing case, the ongoing cases in the grand conspiracy, the reforms, all of the United States attorneys who he didn't think were constitutionalists who they let go and pushed out the door, all of those reforms, all of the changes you're seeing on, on firearms regulations at etf, he was the one who pushed through a lot of those. And I think he's the best choice for what it's worth, I do. And I'm just hoping they don't make a spectacle out of this thing today because the American people would love to hear what he has to say. Now, having said that, folks, I don't fall for propaganda. I'm sorry. I listen to it, I take it in, I digest it, I try to sift through it, I use it in the show that they the exposing it, the left wing propaganda. And I show you like this is propaganda versus results. One of the things I've seen online, and I don't know if it's a paid campaign or not, but I want you to just focus on results for a second. I want to prove to you right now what you're hearing is bullshit. Is you see a bunch of people out there going like, the Trump administration has given up on mass deportations of illegals. Ladies and gentlemen, that is just completely, totally inaccurate. It's just not true. Like, you can believe it if you choose to be upset. I mean, I can't tell you what to believe or not. I'm just telling you believing in something not worth believing in because it's not true. There was a slight dip in the number of deportations that is now back up to record numbers. It is not because of the administration. President Trump, Steve Miller, the Attorney General, Tom Homan. The borders are because they have any less desire to rid the country of people here illegally breaking the law. It had a lot to do with the Democrat enforced government shutdown. But now the numbers are back to record numbers where they have been before. So again, you can say all you want if you want to destroy the Trump administration. Well, they've lost focus on mass deportation. It's just not true. We saw this when we were at the bureau for the first year. We'd see these things about you and all and you'd be like, that's not. I don't know what you're talking about. That was the best year they've ever had like this. You just make this up and a lot of people fell for it. Here's Tom Homan. Meet this anyone you're going to trust on this issue. No one knows a border better than him. Dispelling these myths that they've somehow lost focus on mass deportations. It's just not true. Check this out.
B
Well, this change on vehicle stops lower the rate of deportation.
A
No, you know what? Let me dress that for me. I'm sick and tired of reading about how the administration's lost their, what the guts with, you know, mass deportion deportations and do you know, June last month, ICE arrested more aliens than any month in the history of yankeestad. So, you know, people say ICE is not serious about this job. Last month, the most aliens arrested in the history of the agency. More than last year. More than when you had the FBI, ATF, DEA, war patrol, ICE all out there, always by themselves with their 287 partners, had the most arrested history of the agency. Now, were numbers down for a few months?
B
Yeah. Why?
A
Because the department was shut down.
B
Right.
A
Agents weren't getting overtime paid, they weren't getting travel. I mean, the travel cards were maxed out so they couldn't travel operations. The targeting wasn't being funded like they should have been. So the apartment was shut down. So courting numbers are shut down again. I just. It's only because I really do. To the men out there, the man panions, the women out there love you all. I really just appreciate the truth. What do I say all the time? Don't fall in love with people or politicians. Fall in love with results. Tom Homan has never been known as a bullshitter. When there's an issue they have to fix, he goes out and fixes it. If he has to work with a Democrat mayor to get a result, he's going to do it, even though it may be the popular thing. But he's not going to lie to you about stuff. Folks, I just bring this up not to get into a big prolonged discussion about deportations today at the beginning of the show. It is super important. But I bring it up to show you that when you start sifting through the propaganda and bullshit, a lot of paid campaigns to doom and gloom the administration so you don't show up and vote. Some of it candidly is just, you know, disgruntled people who just don't like the Trump administration. Maybe they lost in a primary to him or whatever. It's just bullshit. Go look up what Tom Homan just said. They didn't lose interest in mass deportations. I've worked personally with both of these guys, not as much with Tom. I typically dealt with my DHS counterparts and Steve Miller on this. If you think Steve Miller and the Trump administration has have lost focus on mass deportations, I'm sorry. Like, please put the crack pipe down. Like put it down. Crack is whack. It's not good for you. It's really bad. You could die really ugly deaths. Just don't do it. Where's the Michael Jordan freaking fly? Imagine these flies follow us from the old house Remember that? Where's the Michael Jordan. Stop. Stop it. Get some help. Please, just get some help. It's just not true. Why waste your time burning any energy on something that's total bullshit. Okay, moving on. Because the fight is real. The fight against the Democrats, Socialist, communist, tyrant, oligarchs, you know, starvation specialists, mass murderers, because that's what communists are, is real. And it's here now. So if we had. Think about it, right? If we have 10 units of energy to burn in a day, whatever your soul has. 10 units of energy. Do you want to base waste a single unit of energy on a talking point against the Trump administration? It turns out it's not even real. Like, why would you do that? This came up the other day, something happened and I was chatting with Jasmine and Paula and we were like, you know, I got all this energy to burn it. We really want to waste any time on this. And everyone unanimously was like, no, we don't, because it's just stupid. Like, let's just move it. That's this thing. Mike Johnson, who's the speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, has been pretty clear about the threat we're dealing with. Listen, man, again, I know people have beefs with politics and that's cool. Like, that's what we do. It's a republic. We argue about politicians all the time, but there's no doubt that members of Congress, the good ones right now on the Republican side, understand the gravity of the threat. That's why I titled this show today. They're a danger to you and your family. It's because of this clip. We need more of this. The Republican Party out there, the leadership, the people with microphones. Even if you're not in leadership, you're like a John Kennedy on the Senate side who does speak pretty clear but is on Fox all the time. We need to speak clearly about this threat from these commies. There's no more dicking around, beating around the bush. We need to speak clearly, just like he did yesterday. Here's where I got the title for today's show. Because he's 1. 100% correct. Check this out.
B
Remove the carceral state. They said no prisons. They don't want to fund the police. This is not a game everybody needs to understand. These crazy little mini momdanis who are popping up all around the country, they were, they were a danger to you and your family. This is not a game. If they promise you free stuff, there is far more beneath those promises that even some of these people do not understand themselves. And so we are here as the Republican Party to stop stand on the founding principles of the greatest nation in the history of the world. It is our duty to do that.
A
Folks. Again, I appreciate results. Don't fall in love with politicians. However, I respect the fact that he's willing to speak so clearly on this issue. And I just hope more Republicans with microphones out who are out there are speaking in these exact same terms. You don't need PhD, you know, fake experts on political science to tell you that communism leads to death, destruction, murder, starvation and economic depravity. You don't need. All you. All you need is freaking chatgpt or grok. You can look it up. I said this last night talking to Sean on the, on the Fox program last night. If you want to know what living under socialism looks like, do yourself a favor. If you're really curious, you, you should be correct. If you're a Democrat who's not a progressive liberal but a mainstream Democrat, but it's getting ready to fall for this socialist bullshit, there's an example out there of what it looks like to live under the system, you may fall for socialism. You can go ask any Cuban refugee in South Florida. Just go find someone, friend them on, on Facebook or whatever, DM them on X. Hey, I saw your avatar. It says you're a refugee from communist Cuba. What was that like? You could ask him. The guy who used to cut my hair, Robert is a refugee from Cuba. You got to hear his stories. They're horrendous. I got to tell you, they were like, depressing. Sometimes I'd be getting a haircut, I'd be in a good mood. I leave in a bad mood. These stories are depressing. You could ask them. It's called homework. If you want to know what it's like to, you know, build a coffee table out of like a piece of tree wood, you would probably ask a carpenter. Correct? Like, what is that? Like you wouldn't ask the PhD in woodworking who's never built a table in their lives, but you won't do that. Reason I bring this up is this is how crazy these freaking people are and why we need more Mike Johnson's with leadership positions and microphones to speak out about the deadly threat from this pernicious, cancerous infection in our body politic called socialism, folks. Listen to me, brothers and sisters. These people are not effing around, man. They are not kidding. However crazy you think they are, they're crazier. I told you, it's the easiest show in the world. To put together, because all you have to do is play their words. Here's this little socialist group here. They're talking on this, like, zoom session or whatever. And listen to me. If you're a Cuban refugee, a refugee from a former Soviet republic, living in the United States under communism, if you have escaped the hell, depravity and starvation of communism and living here, you are their worst enemy. What? No, no, I'm serious. Listen to this guy in this clip talk about how we should bomb Louisiana and Miami because there are Iranian and Cuban refugees there speaking out against socialism. Again, brothers and sisters, I'm just playing their own words. They're a danger to you and their family, and they are who you think they are. At the Dennis Green. Check this out. Seeing the Iranian diaspora, like, just cheer on their country getting just bombed.
B
Like what? There.
A
There has to be an Olympic competition between the worst gusanos in the world. And on the podium, you know, competing for gold, you have the Cubans on the one side and. And the Iranians on the other. You know, just. Just bomb parts about large swaths of LA in Miami. We'd be.
B
It'd be a better planet for it.
A
All I'm doing is playing their words. Oh, you know, clearly they're kidding. Are they? Are they? It's not like the Cuban and Iranian regimes in Cuba and Iran have not done that exact thing, killed and destroyed their own people. We think. There's not an example for this, folks. These people are a danger to you and your family. This is not a political race to sit out the days of the Bill Clinton Democrat Party, you know, whatever. Tip O' Neill, sitting down with Reagan McCarthy, whatever. I'm not even sure that halcyon days were ever there. I'm telling you, like, those days are over. I warned you years ago when people would tell me when AOC first popped on the screen, we would get this. All the ghee was here, so was Justin. And then people would be in the chat, be like, oh, man, just ignore her Streisand effect. You're giving her too much attention. I said, no, we're not this woman, for as crazy as she is, and she's really not that bright, is very charismatic and understands social media. She understands messaging vehicles. And this socialism message has an appeal to people. It just does. Folks sharing and free stuff and everybody's going to be rich and get free health care. Why would that not appeal to you? Why would that not where the party that has to give people the hard answers? We're the party. We have to do the education portion of this. And nobody wants, you know, when I first started this show, I said we should do like, you know, bongino report university on the weekends. And we should do like a show on, you know, the fallacies of gun control and just keep them as like staple Evergreen material. And the company I was working with at the time said, I love the idea, but people hate the idea of like a university. They don't want to feel like they're in like a professor's class. I'm like, well, I'm not a professor, but I got the point, folks. This is the difficult part. You don't educate your friends and neighbors about the danger ahead, it's going to be knocking at your door. Famous last words are, that can't happen here. No, it can, it can. I'm going to take a quick break, but I think about. I'm going to show you I got another one coming. You think the election fraud stuff. This goes to show you what like a lack of detachment to reality looks like. But I just want to bring this up because if you go back, I'm obsessed with history. Go back and look at, you know, Fort Sumter in the Civil War, how people were convinced, like, even after Fort Sumter, like this would eventually simmer down and wouldn't, you know, result in a full blown war. Some of the initial Civil War battles, people were showing up to watch like it was going to be like a reenactment. And then they were fleeing for their lives like holy Moses. Like, this is a real fight. People are dying. That's how this stuff happens. It's like bankruptcy, as the old adage goes, happens gradually and then all of a sudden. That's how countries collapse. We're not letting that happen. Not on this show. Quick break and we get back to this. Wait till I show you this next clip too. What is Vince call msnow? Miznow. I think we're gonna. Vince calling it calls it Miz now. I think we're just. I like Miz now better. We're gonna stick with Miz now. Hey, let me tell you something.

Folks, this is what I'm talking about. These people are who. Where can I buy the T shirts Dan wears L Barone 105 in the chat box bongino.com no store.bongino.com store.bongino.com yeah if you want it up to you but store.bongino.com thank you. El Baron. El Baron sounds like a wrestling name from right. El Baron. Write that name. The old like when you put the masks on and stuff, they are who you think they are, folks. Be proud like we. What do I do on this show? Beginning of the show, I hear a rumor out there. President Trump and his team aren't focused on mass deportations. I go out, find a stat, find a credible source, Tom Holman, he's the freaking borders are. He knows we debunk it. Everybody moves on. We don't stew on it. The left. It doesn't matter how many times you tell the socialists and the socialists in the media that what they're saying is stupid and inaccurate. It doesn't matter if you present to them. ChatGPT OpenAI Grok the Encyclopedia Britannica, the government's own numbers. They're just stupid because stupid is a choice and they want to be stupid. Here's what I mean. Miz. Now, msnow has already decided that President Trump's primetime speech tomorrow, in case you hadn't heard, he's going to give one, I believe, from the Oval or at least from the White House. And one of the components of it is supposed to be some new information about the 2020 election, which you and I have covered endlessly, and all the suspicious nonsense that went on there. Ok, ladies and gentlemen, what day is it? Justin? Today. Yeah. No, what day of the week? Wednesday. The speech is tomorrow. What's the day after? Wednesday? So Thursday comes after Wednesday, correct? The majority. Yeah, he's right. Well, you'll see where he's going with that. Justin just said pay attention. The majority of Thursdays do come after Wednesdays. Hold that thought and you'll see where he gets this in a couple minutes. The speech hasn't happened yet. Msnow and Stephanie rule they have not heard it. They've heard none of the information. But they're already convinced that these are baseless charges and they haven't seen it yet. This is what stupidity looks like when it's a choice. Check this out. It appears the president is entering a new chapter in his effort to question the results of the 2020 election and potentially so doubt in the upcoming midterms. A new White House task force force is expected to begin releasing documents on alleged and so far, absolutely baseless evidence of election irregularities in the coming weeks. That is, according to two officials with knowledge of the matter and Acting Director of National Intelligence Bill Pulte will be a part of it. I'm going to guess front and Center. Why not just waithe I. You know, I'm not playing dumb here. Like the left. I'm not, I promise. Why not just wait? Why not just wait till after Thursday? Because as Justin said, the majority of Thursdays come after I'm s. You know what? We may have to play this clip next. Can you pull that one up? That's really funny, Justin. Sometimes they say stuff it's not funny and I ignore it. They don't. I'll be like, ha, ha ha, whatever. That's funny. Thursday hasn't happened. If you are a journalist with a shred of credibility, how can you criticize a report is baseless that you haven't seen Folks in my cr. Andy, is this like you. You haven't seen it? You haven't seen it. You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to go to the Martin County Republican Club and I'm going to try this theory out. There's going to be a keynote speaker, whatever, be Joey Bag of donuts or whatever. And before the speech happens, I'm going to tap the guy next to me. Joey, that speech was terrible. The guy's going to go, bro, that speech hasn't happened. It was bad. He could have look at you like you're a dipshit. Because it hasn't happened yet, but it's already baseless. Don't be these morons. The Trump team has lost focus on mass deportations. Actually, they're at record numbers. Why did you say that? I don't know. I heard it somewhere. Well, it's our obligation to, like, kind of look it up, right? I'm not doing that. I swear. I'd rather have no audience than be these bullshitters in the Griftosphere podcast. Show you evidence it's coming tomorrow, maybe the next day. Sign up for my super chat. Only suckers do that pretty soon, like, demand information. Here's what I mean. This clip is for later in the show, but this is what it looks like when you say stupid things like the majority of Thursdays come after Wednesdays. It's kind of like saying, you know, the majority of births happen with biological. The majority. You mean like 100% throughout human history like that? You might as well throw plurality in there. Next, check this out. The vast majority of pregnancies are in women. And I have absolutely no problem with using the word pregnant women. I use it myself. Has a non biological woman ever had a baby? A transgender person can. That's not a biological woman. Has a non biological woman ever had A baby.
B
I would reiterate.
A
It's ridiculous. I give up. Show's over. I can't. I can't take the freaking stupid, folks. This is. When I say stupid, Siak in the chat. Stupid is a freaking choice. You know, Vince is right. Chatting with Vince in the interview, and he's like, you know why this content is so good, so terrible for the country, so good for the US because it enrages people. Because it's so freaking dumb. I'm sitting here doing a pre show and I'm talking to Jasmine. I'm like, you've got to realize when you say dumb shit like this that the actual majority, like 95% of America probably more, knows your Motley's in the chat. Motley's mixed with the cycs, right? This is like they're laughing at you. They think you're a tool. Why do you keep going down this road? Why? How many times are you going to make the same mistake with the same stupid shit? Defund the police? Nobody believes that's effective at doing anything except increasing the crime rate and getting your ass killed. Open borders. Nobody sane believes that men can get pregnant. They cannot. There is no scenario. I am a man. I cannot get pregnant. There is no scenario by which that is ever going to happen in a quadrillion lifetimes. It's not going to happen. Bro, why do you keep saying stupid shit? Because stupid's a choice. Don't ever make that choice on our side because this is what a movement looks like. This is why, despite the Democrats having the media, academia, the sports world, even some components of the country music world, thought figures and influencers all on their side, we still, the Republican Party in the MAGA movement, continue to perform well in elections. Everybody's against us. It's like that Giphy with. There was a Game of Thrones guy with the sword, all the horse. I think it's Game of Thrones and a chart. The horses charged. That's you. And yet we're still. We're still holding up and winning elections because most people see through this bullshit. Why they bring up the defund the police stuff? Because out there in Michigan, we got to play the opponent next. I don't know what they did here. Okay, I'm being straight with you, man. I don't know what they did here. First, let's play up. So the Michigan United States Senate race is critical. The Republicans stand a really good chance of taking this seat in Michigan, and we're going to need it to hold the Senate. We're Going to need it. The Democrat slate of candidates. All of these goofball socialists are like. It's like the Jim Carrey. They're like dumb and dumber and dumb and dumber and dumber. They're really that stupid. Here's socialist communist Abdul El Sayed, who's leading in the polls. This guy could be the Democrat nominee. This is from a couple of years ago, talking openly about, you know, why do the police need guns? I don't know. To shoot back at the bad guys, you dopies. I'm just playing his words. Just his words. Check this out. Do police really need to use guns? Do we need as much of a police force? And so if we ask ourselves about how we spend money in the public, where that money goes, where it comes from, we need to make a lot better decisions about investing in the things that root out poverty rather than investing in policing poverty. It's not funny. I just. You're gonna vote for this idiot. This guy's gonna be your center. Why do the police need guns? I don't know. So they don't get dead. Is that ever. Why do they need body armor? Because bad guys shoot at them. In liberal states, you guys run more than any other place. How do you keep falling for this? Because stupid is a choice and you choose to be stupid. What the hell do you want them to use foul language? This is. That's real. We didn't mess up. AI. All right. I'm about to be surprised on my own show. Let's play the original first. So you want to see why this crazy Abdul El Sayed could be a U.S. senator from Michigan. This defund the police. Why do the police need guns? Absolute imbecile. Stupid choice. Don't take it. Here's his opponent. This is not. This is real. This played last night on Hannity's show. So, you know, you're sitting in. In the van getting ready for the. They pull a van up my house, right? And you're getting ready for the hit. And I'm watching this hit and I swear I thought it was a parody. I didn't think this is real. This is real. This is his opponent, Abdul El Sayed, running for the US Senate seat in Michigan. Haley Stevens, given one of the most cringe, like, I don't know, she's trying to be like a fake. Newt Rockne on this. This is like the dumbest thing I've ever heard. This is like the Little League coach parody. This is the original. This actually happened. Check this out.

I'm going to Be working on our behal. I am going to be telling the stories on our behalf. And you better believe I'm going to be doing it with a little bit of joy, a little bit of enthusiasm, a little bit of energy, and a little bit of stick it to them because that's the Michigan way.
A
I, I, I, I, you know, Andy's like really creative with the rest of the crew here. I, I didn't, I didn't know any. What is that? Is this like, you know, that they watch in the chair? I have not seen this, but I said to the guys, I have to fire everyone if you can't do something. I didn't even expect them to do it. That they literally did this in like five minutes. I mean, I, that was the actual time window. You know, I hate that word. I said, guys, you got to put something. Justin's like, I got an idea. He's like, do you wanted me to show you Want me to show you before I. No, no, no. I said, just don't get me fired or anything. And you fired your own company. I said just so I have not seen any of this. But they decided, like, this is a very motivational speech, Haley Stevens, and that we all should because we all need a little motivation. So let's see what they got. Check this out. No, you didn't. No, you didn't. Yes, you did. You did. Yes, you did. No one will watch 300.
B
I am going to be working on our behalf. I am going to be telling the stories on our behalf. And you better believe I'm going to be doing it with a little bit of joy, a little bit of enthusiasm, a little bit of energy and a little bit of stick it to them because that's the Michigan way.
A
I'm snorting. Don't snort when you laugh, dude. That is epic. Show's over. Sorry, folks. We had one more sponsor American. Sorry, guys. We're. I have to refund your money for this. No, that's a Motley's in the chat right there. That was great. Nice work. They put that together in five minutes. These guys are super creative. Good job, Justin. Well done. No one will ever watch 300 again. I'm sorry. We like ruin the whole movie for that's the now you see why Defund the police terror group supporting Abdul El Sayed. Now you see why this guy's. You're running against that. Oh, my gosh. That was way too funny for this. You can't be doing stuff like that because then I can't get my head Up. It takes me. Takes me a couple minutes to. Once I laugh that hard. And, you know, I woke up this morning, I was having, like, some chest pains and stuff. Not like that. Like, I'm gonna have a heart attack. But now I may. I may just drop dead on the show. Call 911 if I do. Folks, these people are crazy. They are freaking lunatics. They are so unrelatable, cringy and uncomfortable. Like, criticize Donald Trump all you want. That's your right. It's a republic. You get the point. I've said it a thousand times. However, there's no more relatable guy than Donald Trump. We played that clip the other day. The guys put together Donald trump in the McDonald's, like, serving fries. Nobody can pull that off. Nobody can pull that off without some idiot trying to make you look dumb about. Except Trump, because he's just the most relatable. It's ironic. Like, he's a successful billionaire with all these different real estate ventures and all these projects he's done throughout his life. You would think, like, he would be the most remote, unapproachable, cringy guy to deal with, because he doesn't. And he's the exact opposite. The Democrats, you know, the pretend party of the working man. They're the ones that go out there and do this stuff. Here's another one in case you think, like, I'm crazy. This is the easiest content in the world to produce because you just have to play their own words. Here's Rep. Nydia Velasquez. Now that we've had under Todd Blanche and, and, And Homan and. And dhs, now that we've had this incredible year of deportations and zero illegal migrants admitted into the country multiple months in a row, what do they want to do? They want to abolish ICE and get rid of them. What's your solution then? Just let anybody who wants to come here ever. The answer is, yeah, it's just their own words. Check this out. You cannot put a bandage on a system that is fundamentally broken.
B
We must abolish ICE, period.
A
My 1966 in the chat says every Republican should be running ads just of Democrats in their own words. Amen. Sister or brother? I don't know. I'm just telling you like the. All you've got to do is play their own words. They're freaking crazy people, man. They're crazy people. They tell you. They tell you. Remember Dennis Green? They are who we taught them. They are who you thought they were. I love this one. And by Love it. I mean, hate it. Here's the Democrat socialist of America. This guy's like the co chair or one of their leaders or something. They say this stuff openly. Watch him invert history. This show is not a history lesson. I love history. The United States Senate was a compromise made during the Constitutional Convention. The Senate compromise was so that big, densely populated, in many cases, northern states would not be able to impart their will upon less densely populated other states. So what they did was they ensured in the legislative branch of our government that one of the components of the legislative branch, the House of Representatives, was allocated on population because there are more people in populated states. Fair enough. However, some of the smaller states said, well, we can't have the Senate based on population too, because then our votes aren't going to matter. What are you going to get? Seven senators? They said no, every single state is going to get two U.S. senators. Anyone who's cracked open a book, read online, read an article, watched a Netflix documentary about the Constitution. This is not hard stuff. Knows that. Watch this socialist guy entirely and completely invert history and make it out like the Senate was founded for the opposite reason. So that the elites could press down upon others the tyranny of the majority. It's the exact opposite. These people just lie to you. Check this out.
B
Don't see the point of the Senate. Historically it was meant to serve very wealthy people who owned a lot of land. And that's still a system that we have today. And it, it's something we, we would change. We would expand what the House of Representatives does and, and make it more actually representative of people who, who live in this country.
A
So would you like to abolish the Senate?
B
That's, that's part of our platform. And we don't think that's extreme. We think it's, it's a change that would help make this country more democratic.
A
Thank you. I'm reading the chat from the history bust. Yes, Dan, you're correct. I know it's, it's on and I'm, you're. I know I'm correct because you can go back and just. Folks, go to any streaming platform, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Apple tv, they have tons of documentaries to liberal dipshits out there who can or won't read. You can just watch like a documentary. Just go to like put in Constitution, Washington, Founding Father. Just watch any show for maybe a half an hour and you'll see everything you believe is bullshit. The Electoral college was not about slavery. The Senate was not about wealthy people imparting Their will on us. It was the exact opposite. It was the exact opposite. That was the compromise. You can look this up, you know, you can read some of the notes people took there, like Madison and others. You can read the Federalist Papers by Hamilton and Madison. You can read this. You just choose not to because stupid is a choice. And when you listen to them talk and you let them talk, these dumb ass socialists who want to take your money, want to put your kids in shit schools, want to give you government run crap health care. When you listen to them, you realize everything they say is an inversion of the truth. And then when you let them talk, ironically, ironically, they always expose their own hypocrisy the second the carbon dioxide starts leaving their lungs. Here's this same cat, he wants to abolish the Supreme Court too. No Senate, no Supreme Court, no nothing. I guess it's going to be the tyranny of the majority and listen to the reason. I'm sorry if you saw Hannity last night. I brought this up, you'll hear it again. But this is super important. I brought this up last night. The reason he wants to abolish the Supreme Court is, man, we can't have a bunch of like, elites, government elites, you know, ruling over the rest of us. Are you freaking stupid, bro? That's the whole essence of communism and socialism. Did you miss that? Do you realize you just said this out loud? They did, in their own words. Check this out.
B
The Supreme Court was mentioned as something that we would want more democratic oversight over. And that, that is important right now. Whether it's the Democratic Party in power or Republican Party in power, a president can just choose who to appoint that can be there for decades and help make decisions about how our government works. We think that that's not really very democratic, that just the whims of nine people who are, you know, they're, they're obviously smart people, but, but they have their own interests. And there's a, there's a kind of elitism that, that comes from just the idea that very specially
A
people who have
B
a certain education or life experience should be making decisions for everybody. And that tends to be pretty elitist. You know, people who go to certain elite colleges or law schools or whatever and then are seen as experts, but they might not have the same interests, you know, like class interests of everybody.
A
You realize you just expose the entire weakness of socialism in your own plea for socialism. Correct? I don't think he knows that. What's his name, as Sheikh Siddiqi. Because this guy's either really stupid. I mean it. Like, I think this guy's just really dumb because a better messenger for the travesty of socialism. Because there are some people who can sell this. They can sell, like what I say, ice to an Eskimo. Some socialism. Some socialists are just really good at this. I'm telling you, AOC does really good. Like TikTok types that she's got like 10 million followers or something. You don't get that by screwing around. She's dumb, but she's at least a better marketer for the product. This guy's just an idiot. Socialism is wonderful. We want to abolish the Supreme Court because it'd be really horrible if a group of experts ruled over. That's the whole basis for socialism. And when you rely on experts on ironically, and not a representative democracy where people can vote in and vote out people who make poor decisions. In other words, the power is delegated to we the people and the consent of the governed. When you don't have that, you have your product, socialism. When you have experts ruling over people, what you have is what Hayek called the knowledge problem, where a small group of people pretend to know what. What your housing needs are, health care needs, job needs. They don't know you. Experts screw stuff up all the time. Cue up Kevin Hassett. Kevin, this is one of Trump's economic advisers. The inflation numbers came in pretty good yesterday. It's down a lot. You know, I thought the experts told us it was going to be a horror show. Inflation experts, right. It's not us that believe in rule by experts. Republicans, conservatives, maga, folks. It's you. Progressives, liberals, commies and socialists. That's your thing. That's your thing. Remember Tommy Boy? That's your thing. Some of you get that. That was Tommy Boy, right? That Chris Farrell is one of them. I'm always terrible. That's your thing. Here's Kevin Hassett on the inflation numbers. He's like, yeah, 67 to 67. Experts screwed it up. This is why we don't do rule by experts. We do rule by elections, which should be free and fair. Thank you. Check this out.
B
Sure, energy prices have come down a lot, but everything else is going down, too.
A
And I think that's why, if you
B
look at Bloomberg, they surveyed 67 economists, and 67 economists got it wrong, because they didn't understand that it wasn't just about energy. It's about all these other things that President Trump is doing to cut costs.
A
Why did they get it wrong, folks? Why? Folks in the chat. Help me out. Here's a little quick educational tip. Experts, no matter how smart, are limited in their scope and knowledge. Pick the greatest brain surgeon in the world. I'll give you one of them. Ben Carson. We all know his name. Dr. Ben Carson. Dr. Ben Carson is got magic hands. He's been able to do things surgically no human being on planet earth has been able to do. Because he's a genius. Would you ask Ben Carson to change the oil in your car? That's a stupid question. No, it isn't. You would not. Because his expertise in the field, although unmatched, brilliant and a good and decent human being, he's not a mechanic. So what is an expert in government economic statistical manipulation of economic data know about your Jiffy Lube business? The answer is jack and shit. And Jack left town. They don't know anything. That's why they constantly screw stuff up. That's why we don't rely on experts to lord over us like the socialist one. We rely on people we vote in. And if they don't do what we as a collective population vote for, we vote them out. Happens every two and four years. In case you think I'm making this up about the inflation numbers because I believe in data. When they popped the last quarter a little bit, we were pretty candid about it. Now they're down. Everyone all of a sudden on the left is shut up. Inflation's out of control. Now we get numbers that are there. No one wants to say anything. When they go up, we talk about it, go back and look at the show because we're honest, we're not morons like these people on the left. The inflation number was down dramatically. That's why it was negative. Down okay for the liberals listening, but it was more negative, which is a good thing. You want it to be down a lot. Here's CNBC again, no right wing network like hey man, these numbers were actually pretty good. Where's the left on this? Where are the experts? Now check this out. This is our June release of the Consumer Price Index. Expecting a headline number to be negative. Negative 1/10 of a percent. This is four times more negative minus 4, 10 of a percent. That would be the biggest negative drop that we've seen since 420 since basically Covid timing which really affected of course all of the inflation data points. So that goes back basically six year low. And if we look at the CPI month over month on the core, also under expectations, comes in at goose egg.00 will be the smallest amount. It would equal Jan of 21 to find a smaller change or a more negative changer minus 1/10 of a percent. That's May of 2020, man. How did 67 of 67 quote experts get it all wrong? Because they don't know anything about your life, your buying decisions, your health care, your education, your economic needs, your housing needs, your rental needs, your property needs, your transportation needs. They don't know. They've never spoken to you. They will never know. That's the reason we insulate ourselves from the tyranny of quote experts and we vote for representatives. It does not mean these representatives are always going to be smart either. Sometimes you get people up there, especially on the Democrat side, but on the Republican side too, that are dumber than a box of rocks. And you'd actually take an expert who's probably not that smart about your life, but it's smarter than these idiots. This was Capitol Hill the other day. Here's this lady who said. What's her name? Monaco, whatever. Who the hell care, Dominic? I don't know. There's this congresswoman up on the Hill talking about DEI in medical schools. Folks, this doesn't take an expert to figure this out, okay? DEI in medical schools is a joke, but it's a tragic one. You go in there and need emergency surgery for something. You are not asking the doctor, like, hey, man, give me your take on, like, critical race theory. Just save the person's life. If there was ever an example outside of, like airline pilots of a needed meritocracy, absent any confounding variables, it is this. In medicine, you know, air flight, people driving you in the car. You know, someone who can't drive, you can be. Oh, well, they fit the DEI criteria. Listen to this exchange up on Capitol Hill. Nobody does this in their personal lives. Nobody asks for a DEI doctor over a competent one zero people do this except up on Capitol Hill. Check this out. Discuss the future of the medical workforce. We should acknowledge that diversity, equity and inclusion in medical schools. That's not something to be criticized or, or blamed. Coursework that focuses on the social determinants of health, including patients, racial backgrounds and socioeconomic status. Okay, nobody's doing this. Susan Bonamy, she. Nobody's doing this. That sounds Italian. Is it a maiden name or married? I don't know. But stop what they did, just like, don't pollute the Italians with this stupidity. Nobody's doing that. The difference with the tyranny of experts in a communist system is you can't escape them. They steal power and they never Give it up. And there are no elections. You think Putin was elected? Putin was selected. You think Kim Jong Un and Kim Jong Il and all the. You think any of them were elected? The difference is we can listen to Bonamici and go, well, that's kind of dumb and stupid. People will vote for and others won't. This is what a good one looks like, though. Brandon Gill is one of my favorites up on the Hill. Again, don't fall in love with people. Fall in love with results. However, this guy brings the results all the time. Ayanna Pressley, clearly one of the dumbest people up on Capitol Hill. She wants to push this Equal Rights Amendment bill. So Brandon Gill asks her a really simple question. I got to tell you, this may be one of the greatest self s, E L F, not C E L l self owns I've seen up on Capitol Hill in a long time. Brandon Gill asks a really simple question about the Equal Rights Amendment she wants. Sounds great. Equal rights. Wants equal rights. Equal rights, like, for women. Well, I got a question about that. This is great. Check this out. And that is why I've introduced legislation to add the Equal Rights Amendment as
B
the 28th Amendment, enshrining it as the
A
law of this land. I'd be happy to look at your Equal Rights Amendment and read through it. I guess my biggest question was, does it define what a woman is? We'll take a look at it. I just was. Was hoping for some analytical clarity, but thank you. We'll take a look at it. Yeah. Just got this guy. This guy just keeps bringing. The guy just keeps throwing touchdowns, man. The guy just keeps throwing. He's like a gunslinger. Guy's like Brett Favre in his prime, just, like, launching it at like 400 miles an hour. How did those receivers on the packers, their hands even stay here? He's just a gunslinger up there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll take a look at it. Does it define what a woman is? Well, Martley's in the chat. No, I didn't notice. She says nothing because she realizes she's been boxed into a corner. Just like the dude we played before thinks the majority of women give it. The majority. What are you talking about, bro? Is there a single example? I have to say it that weird way because I have the whole time, and I just gotten used to it, folks. These people don't know anything. Be proud of yourself. Be proud of yourself. Like, we even fight against people in our own party who are doomers and grifters when they put out bullshit stuff. That's not really. Administration is not doing mass deportation. No, the left does none of this. They accept stupid as a choice. Men can get pregnant. Police don't need guns. We don't need a border wall. Abolish ice. They accept the stupid in their movement. There is no organized effort to stop the stupid. They don't know anything, even the people they love. Like they're, you know, liberal entertainment folks. I hate to play clips of Bill Maher two days in a row, but this is just. Forget Bill Maher for a second here. He's going on a back and forth with Howie Mandel, who I hate to throw Guy under the bus. Actually, we do. It's kind of part of the show because I throw myself under the bus. I will in a minute if you're not. Listen, Andy, what I tell you in the job interview, if you don't have a sense of humor, like, don't work here. I said I'm sorry. Like, you're part. Did I not say that? I was like, man, you're part of the show. Me too. I'm going to make fun of myself in a second, I promise. However Guy plays this clip, there's Josh. Josh. I told you that too, right? I'm like, so here's Guy walking in the studio right now. He plays this clip and he says to me, I kid you not. He's like, just so you know, this is a guy, Howie Mandel, and it's a couple years old, and everyone, all of us look at the same time. We're like, bro, you don't know who Howie Mandel is? I didn't. I'm making fun of myself because I didn't know Key and Pila, right? And so I'm naked. This is true. So I'm not. I'm just saying everyone was, like, shocked. You don't have to like him. He's been around forever. So Guy had no idea who was. Which makes this clip even funnier. Here's Bill Maher. Like, hey, man, you think, like, cops are mowing down unarmed black men? Like, give me a number. Like, how many shootings happened? Oh, I don't know. So then why'd you say it? Ladies and gentlemen, stupid is a choice. Don't take the fork in the stupid road down the stupid path. Check this out. How many people do you think the police shoot a year? I don't know. See, so you're talking out of your ass. Well, tell me. A thousand. They shoot about a thousand people a year.
B
Okay.
A
And how many. How many of that are white people? Tell me. So again we're having this discussion. You're so sure of yourself, you don't even know the stats. But why does that stat. Because you're talking about what you're talking about how much you have to worry. What's even more hilarious is guy called his lovely wife Kim for reinforcement and she was like, how the hell do you not know who that guy is? He doesn't even know, man. I'm telling you, man, if you're black, you better be careful. Cops are mowing people down left and right. Shit, I'd be scared too. Andy, right? What does anything get a white hat on? Andy. You know cops are mowing down people with red bills and white hats.
B
Andy.
A
Be like, I'm taking that hat on, man. There's a realtor. There's no threat. You just made that up. You just made that up. I'm not telling you. Is that a history of racism? Is that a history of Jim Crow and discrimination? I'm not telling you. Do stupid stuff in a traffic stop. I'm not telling you. I'm just telling you. The guy doesn't know anything. The dude doesn't know anything, but he's making a declarative statement about what he doesn't know. I got to throw myself under the bus a little bit. This is like. But I've told you often that one of the. I've seen this clip so often that the names of annoying people finally found one of the clips. The reason this comes up is whenever we say like liberal Karens, I always do we not Jasmine. We'll get an email from some woman named Karen who will be like, well, my name's Karen. I get it. We're not talking about you. We're talking about. It's just like smile a little bit here to the Karen's out there in the world who are good, decent people who are not liberal Karens. I'm with you. Whenever you put a list of the most annoying people on planet earth with men, the name that always creeps up there is Dan. I'm throwing myself under the bus. Even worse with this clip. My middle name is John. See where John. I got two on the list. So here's Dan throwing himself under the bus.
B
Names. You are the most annoying. This is voted on by 10,000 people. People. These are the male names.
A
That's a lot.
B
The most annoying for people that they knew.
A
I hope not in the bun.
B
Daniel, number five. You're very annoying.
A
According to 10,000 people.
B
Robert. Old annoying Robert. Yes. Everyone's voting. You Annoying Robert because he's old. No, he's just annoying. It's getting old. Getting a little old. Robert being so annoying. Chad. No, not unless Mark. No. Mark sounds annoying, though. Chris. Chris. No, Chris is not annoying.
A
Paul.
B

B
Very annoying. Anyone named Thomas. Very annoying. I've had that experience. Experience myself. Marty? Nope. But another m the most common. Michael. Michael. Yes.
A
Number two, most annoying man.
B
What do you think number one is? And you haven't guessed it. Marcus.
A
Ready?
B
No. Who is the most annoying person in your life?
A
John.
B
John. Number one. This is true. One third of people who voted out of 10,000. One third of the people said that a friend of their name.
A
I got two most annoying person. So there you go. To all the Karens out there. We love you. I'm talking about liberal cares. I actually have you beat. I have two names on the most annoying list. Remember that guy, the comedian we use and the New York guy in a Boston deli? He goes, how you doing? He does. How you doing? How you doing? I got two of them. I got two names on there. So there you go. I'm throwing myself. If there was a bus to throw, I'm under it there, too. There's the bus. I fell at, the Kamala bus. And the bus and the wheels go round and round. All right, Because I bring this up and I just want to play. Put this playbook thing up there. I just want to show you too how. Don't fall for stupid stuff, ok? Stupid is a choice. This thing going on in Iran is very serious. But it's just like freaking bananas how everything Trump does, they'll always take the opposite position. Trump decides to bomb Iran again. They're like Trump's backtracking again on his plan this morning. You can never win with these guys. Trump negotiates. Oh, he's chicken it out. Trump bombs him. Guy's a warm. Don't be. I don't even place talk about Iran plays Talk about stupid people. Don't be stupid. Don't be stupid. It's a choice. You don't have to take it. Okay, let's pick our comment of the day and we'll do our spot. And then we're going to get to a terrific interview with our good friend Vince Colonnades, the king of morning podcast. You know the rules. The Bongino 1776 Club. What are we doing? We're just giving away money because we want to. This is where producer Jim would fit, right? We just want to once a week, every week. We're giving away $1,776 to someone watching the show. It's free. Win the comment of the day. You're in the weekly drawing. One of you wins a cash prize every week. See the official rules@bongino.com 1776 and the comment of the day today is. Why do they always have that look? Yes. I don't know. Every single time, Right? You know that they, you know that they were talking about here. Why do they always have that look every time I listen, I actually like nose rings. I don't really, but do they have to with the green hair? Like, they have to mix and match with everything. Pick one. Like, I had to stick with the tattoo. I got tattoos everywhere. I do. I think they. On some people, I think they look good. I do. I maybe, who knows? Maybe it's just a thing. I personally doesn't work for me. I. But I do think, and this may be a controversial Dan Bongino theorem of modern life. Right. My take, I don't know how you guys feel about this is you, you generally have to pick one. If you're going to do, like, green hair, you got to stick with, like, the green hair alone. If you're going to mix and match the green hair, the tattoos all over and then the nose ring, I'm just saying, like, whatever, do your thing. You're probably going to have some HR issues in your first job interview. You pick one, you're probably okay. Small nose ring. Eh. Maybe pull it off. A little twinge of green or purple in the hair. Who knows? Maybe they think it's some genetic thing. You pick all three. Why do they always have that look? Why they got to mix and match? I don't know. I'm not one of them. I went with the tattoo. I wish I hadn't. I got them all over the place. I was going to try to get them off, but it's too much work. Like, forget it. I'm stuck at this point. All right, stay tuned for Vince. Hey, if you're a homeowner, you probably thought what these guys are like. Where did these shows come from? Like, Josh and Andy are into in the, you know, guy, seen him for years, and Justin.

Speaking of going home, what's your home mortgage credit card situation? Very good, Justin. It's taken over for a gi. If you're a homeowner, you probably thought, should I call American Financing to refinance and pay off this credit card debt? Then you second guess yourself because the low mortgage rates you currently have. But listen, hey, that low rate, it's not saving. It's not saving you if you're drowning in credit card interest at 25% or more. It's not. It's math no one wants to face, but it's costing you thousands. Here's the truth. If you're only making minimum payments, that debt will follow you for years. That's why people are calling American Financing.

Welcoming back to the show for his bi weekly appearance, the King. We gotta get you like one of our Burger King crowns from our studio. You know the McGroins, they get us the Burger King crowns. Cause this building was an old Burger King, the king of morning podcast. And you can check him out@rumble.com Vince at 8am Eastern time every single day. He's been crushing the the spot. Vince Colonnades. Thanks for spending some time with us. We appreciate it.
B
I love. Have you ever figured out where in the Burger King you're sitting? Are you in the dining room right now?
A
So when we first looked at the building, that right to my right over there, like directly to my right was the drive thru window. So we wanted to keep the drive thru window. You remember this, Jasmine? We wanted to keep it. And the city is steward for some Reason we weren't allowed to keep it. I thought it would be like a cool gig, like for gimmicks. We could take a camera over there and, you know, who knows, maybe Trump could come in to do the McDonald's thing again. We could have, but they didn't let us do it. So we put like a little mini golf course out there for the guys to hang around. You've been out there, you know the dream.
B
It's cool. It's a good spot. It's a good spot. We hung out, we smoked some cigars, we chatted, it was fun.
A
I know you had the dog too, and everything was great. I came in. I mean, this guy, the studio, it's really, it's been an experience. For those of you who've been here, including some of the McGrawing crew, you know, we're very proud of it. Paul of put a lot of work into it. So listen, the hostilities in Iran have heated up again and again. Vince, I understand and I fully appreciate and respect that there are a variety of really diverse opinions on what we should do with our military. I mean, if there's any issue, any issue we should apply, you know, real deep analysis to, it's sending our men and women overseas to potentially die, and many have in a conflict. So I'm really glad that people go back and forth. But what ticks me off about this, and I put this earlier in the show, is no matter what the President does, the left wing media and his critics will change their position. I showed this playbook thing where, you know, they're like, well, Taco Tuesday or whatever, Trump's going to chicken out again. It's like, brother, I don't get it. Like, when he does something kinetic with the military, you know, you're pissed off, you call him a warmonger. And then when he goes back and tries to negotiate, you accuse him of taco. Like, Trump always chickens out. Like, man, just pick a freaking position. It's hard to negotiate.
B
They spend all their time pretending they haven't seen him before. They intentionally suggesting that they, I don't even know what he's doing. And then always giving us the worst possible outcome that they can possibly imagine. And it's because they hate him. I mean, it's just Trump derangement syndrome. And as a result, I, you know, you and I benefit. I think I sleep so much better at night not worrying about what that distortion filter thinks about President Trump, but saying, hey, I've seen this guy before, the author of the Art of the Deal, the consummate deal maker, the one who's always using maximum leverage in order to navigate towards something in the middle that is a much better outcome than the status quo. That's President Trump. From the very beginning, when they, when he was starting to navigate all of this and trying to figure out what to do, he's used both carrot and stick to make maximum effectiveness. From Operation Midnight Hammer and blowing up all of the nuclear facilities to establishing a memorandum of understanding and going, hey, you, you know what it feels like to get the crap kicked out of you? I killed the top two tiers of your leadership. Now why don't we try to make a deal? Let's see if that works. And he gives them this wonderful opportunity to become a normal country, fully anticipating that they may very well not take the opportunity. And so far, they're not taking it. So as a result, he's smacking the hell out of them again. And that means, as far as we can tell, in the last, you know, few days, they're blowing up whatever's left of their menacing, little stupid, you know, drone operations and missiles and anything they can do to disrupt the straight up Hormuz. And he's going to once again beat them into some form of submission, maybe have them come back to the table. But here's what's different, Daniel. He's the first guy who's tried this approach. There's been lots of people who've said, why don't we just nuke them, turn it into a parking lot? There have been others who've been like, why don't we try maximum appeasement? President Trump has said, why don't we try everything and see what happens?
A
Yeah, you know, I agree. And whereas I think we've been very open and candid on the show, we owe it to the audience to say, yeah, it has gone on longer, I think, than a lot of people originally anticipated. There are a lot of variables in war and outcomes. People won't. If they can anticipate everything, they'd be, you know, the stygian witches from, you know, from Clash of the Titans, and you just can't do that. However, you lift and shift and you adjust. And I think he's done that. And I think that's a pretty objective statement. I don't deny I subjectively appreciate the President and his loyalty to his people and his appreciation for the military, but objectively, yeah, maybe it has gone on a little longer than originally stated, but. But I think the other side can't do the same thing. And I Think you're seeing it now. I played a clip earlier in the show. It's was it Stephanie Rule, the msnow or something saying so President Trump is anticipated to give this speech tomorrow night, Thursday primetime, 9pm Eastern. And he has stated that he's going to mention some things about an election conspiracy by foreign actors and some new information that surfaced. So I'll be interested to hear that. Stephanie Rule, I played the clip earlier in the show. It's like, you know, we already know he's out there with this baseless evidence. You haven't even seen the evidence yet. How the hell do you know it's baseless? Like that's the difference between guys like you and I who can give both sides and form an opinion and dumb asses like her who's already, she's already come to the conclusion it's baseless, but she doesn't even know what she's looking at yet.
B
And it's also coming from a party that is perfectly comfortable with rigging elections to its own benefit and then saying that the other side is doing it whenever it wins them legitimately. So it's like so ridiculous. I mean, Stephanie, roll it reminds me, I played this morning on our program. I didn't play. I showed a tweet from David Axelrod who is claiming that, ok, President Trump brings out all these political apparatchiks next to him, who so called intel experts. I'm like, what so called, wait, hold on a second. The original reporting on this. And who knows what's going to happen Thursday. I don't believe Ms. Now's report on the subject. But if, if this does happen, if President Trump shows up and Cash Patel standing next to him, John Ratcliffe is standing next to him, Bill Pulte standing next to him, these guys aren't so called intel people. They are the intel people. They're the head of the respective agencies that handle the nation's intelligence. So that's a big deal. And he's calling them political apparatchiks that they're going to come out and like lie to the American people in order to subvert the will of the voter. And I was thinking as I was seeing this, Dan, hold on a second. You're telling me the dni, the head of the CIA, the head of the FBI, would come out and mislead the American people to subvert the will of the voter? Has that ever happened? Oh, that's right. John Brennan, James Comey, Jim Clapper were exactly those people. So when Stephanie Rule is going on and on about, oh, I can't believe they're alleging this stuff. This is precisely what the left does. And then they accuse the other side of doing it.
A
And, Vince, you know, remember, you just accurately kind of summed up the difference between one set of folks who were in the intel community. The Clappers, the Brennan's and the Comeys and Patel, Ratcliffe and Pulte. Right? Now, is that the difference in this case now, at least in Fulton County, Georgia, the investigation going on, some career agent who has no political dog in the fight at all. Not. They'd be fired if they lie, period. Like, there's no if, ands or buts about it. They would never be allowed to testify again in court. Raised their right hand, he or she, I don't know who, whatever, and said, I swear to the facts in this case, a judge then looked at said facts and said, yes, we approve this search warrant. Right. None of that was done. But with. With Comey, where they had a guy go in front of the FISA court and lie, who was called out on those said lies. Right. I mean, you had Comey admit that the procedure for interviewing people over at the House was to go through the counsel's office and this other stuff, and he didn't do it. He goes, oh, I just sent a few guys over, whatever. Like, there's a difference between these two entities. They should be embarrassed bringing that up.
B
Yeah, totally. And, you know, and look, the guys, I mean, you know better than anybody, but the guys that President Trump brought in, he brought them in to clean up these agencies, to make them better, to get rid of that kind of corruption and to restore faith in these institutions. That's the game here. And you'll notice that the closer the president gets to that goal, the more hysterical the left becomes about it. They just keep suggesting that President. Look, the reason Axelrod puts out a tweet like that is. Is because he's trying to salt the earth ahead of the midterms. He wants people to believe that if Republicans pick up strength in both the House and the Senate, that it was a rigged election. It's. And that has the effect that he's pretending he cares about, which is to diminish the average American's faith in our elections and to whip the left even further into a TDS frenzy that hurts our country. It's a complete disaster. So I love that the President is using the power of his office to convey this message on Thursday, Whatever it is, however he delivers it, I think I know he's going to push the Save America Act. I haven't talked to anybody about it, but I know he's going to do it because he's always pushing it, which he should. I think he should have the new Senator Graham there with him in the Oval Office. This is just my idea. I think she should be there. And he goes, hey, look, Lindsey Graham's closing conversation with me was pushing the Save America Act. His sister is now the senator from South Carolina. I have her here with me. I'm going to fight for this, too. I will see. I'll leave it to the President. He's better at the theatrics than I am, but I love this. He should stay on this. And, and the more the left gets driven crazy about it, the more, you know, he's over the target.
A
That's right. And I agree with you that the, the medicine for this problem, this, this lack of faith in the voting system is the SAVE Act. I mean, it's supported by voter ID, that is by 70, 80% of people. Because I, you know, it's overused term common sense, ironically, but it is just common sense. Like you, you know, you can't buy Allegra in a Walgreens, you know, without showing id, but you can go up and vote and determine the future of our representative democracy, our republic. It's just humiliatingly stupid to come out against it. You know, you and I are in the content creation business and, you know, I love giving people behind the scenes. You know, a lot of hosts like to pretend like, oh, I'm just so great at this. Sometimes producing a show is really hard, you know, slow news days. Gee, remember the Joe Rogan thing? There was like that month, what was it, three years ago or something? We call it the Joe Rogan. The only story was Spotify and Joe Rogan, Neil. And it was like there was nothing. There was not a single story to talk about. And he and I just. We would just have to pull these shows out of our cabooses and, like, find these. I bring that up because, although, let me just preface this by saying it is horrible for the country. Horrible for the country. And I pray. I mean, I literally pray, and you know, I hate that word that the socialists lose because the country would be far worse off and we're going down a dangerous path. It has been amazing for content watching Talafrico, Abdul El Sayed, Graham Platner. Horrible for the country, folks. Terrible. I wish it didn't happen, but my gosh, like, you put a show together, am I wrong? And it's like you could put an hour show. You take me four hours, you put in 10 minutes, you're done. Like, the whole show's done. Because these idiots are so embarrassing.
B
Well, as you know, the secret to great content, we're going to give away some. There's free tips here. The secret to great content is anything that's emotionally resonant. If it, if he gets you animated, that's what people stay locked in on. And especially stuff that ticks you off. You're like, man, I'm really. They really lock in on it. And that makes a lot of sense because fundamentally, what you're tapping into is that people want to rescue their country from these maniacs. That's. That's really what it's about. So it kind of serves twin purposes. Yes, it's great content, but most importantly for you and for me, it's. It's about saving our country and preventing these lunatics from having more power. And in fact, one of the. I say great just by way of. Of our political priorities. One of the great things about a guy like Talafrico or this. This guy Graham is that they are avatars. They are representatives for the rest of their party. They're just the most theatrical expressions of it. This is why they got rid of the dude in Maine. That's why they got rid of the Nazi tattoo guy, because one, he wasn't going to win his race against Susan Collins, and two, he was going to serve as a representation for Democrats nationwide that they didn't want in front of voters. So they said, we got to give this guy the heave ho. They called in all the moves, and they got rid of him in order to do that. That's why I wouldn't be surprised if there was a similar move on Talafrico getting closer to the election. If he becomes a real net drag on the Democrats nationwide, I would not be shocked if the blackmail file starts cracking open on him, too, the same way it did for Eric Swalwell in the governor's race. They cracked open the blackmail file to get rid of him. And because they were scared there were going to be two Republicans on the ballot in November in California. This, this is a. This party is. It's like if you stand in their way, no matter how much you've been a loyal lick spittle for their. Their politics, they will run you over for their own party's power.
A
You know, you brought up a critical point, because what works for content works for, for me, too. You know, whenever Fox calls to ask me to do A hit, an appearance on anything involving socialism. It's almost like an automatic yes if I'm available. Because I'm just so passionate about this topic. Because I, as I keep saying on the show, one, it's, It's. It's easy to talk about. Not that it's. It's easy to talk about and that it's so obviously a fraud. You know, I said last night on Hannity, it's like the Bio 101 experiment where every time you conduct it, the lab blows up and you're like, we'll get them next time. Well, actually, you won't, because there's no lab. Like, it blew up the prior 20. We're not doing it anymore. Like, this is what happens with socialism every time. And I thought about that, about a clip I played earlier in the show where they never live by their own rules, you know, tax the rich. They are rich, and they do everything to avoid taxes. Ro Khan is worth anywhere from 30 to 300 million. Bernie Sanders, a millionaire, you know, but one thing I really find almost hilariously stupid is there was a segment earlier in the show with this congresswoman saying, hey, about DEI and medicine. And I said to the guys inside playing this clip, vince, you know damn well, God forbid something tragic happens to you or your family and they need an emergency surgery, even, like an appendectomy, you know, they'll get an infection and die. Do you really believe anyone listening? Forget the conservatives, they're smart. But, like, even the dumb liberals listening to the show, do you really believe they're like, hey, man, what did this guy say on his DEI application to medical school? Does he appreciate the cultural relevance of the. Nobody's doing that. These people are total freaking frauds.
B
Look, I mean, you. You've been very public about your. Your health situation through the years. You've had some pretty dramatic health scares. Now, I can't imagine for a moment you would say, you know what? No, don't give me the best guy. Let me. I need, I need to check the skin color situation here first. No, you want the best guy. Paula wants the best guy working on Dan, okay? And that's true for all of us. Never in a million years would you sit back and be like, you know what? No, I'm not going with that guy. I need. I need some transgender albino door from the middle of, like, some other country to work up. No, you're not looking for that. You're looking for competence. And that's in every. That's in every single, like, any. Any Realm that has any risk whatsoever, whether it's flying an airplane or doing open heart surgery. You just need competence. You want to survive this experience and get there safely. I.
A
And you know, Vince, this is not some sorry, silly virtue signal at all. I swear to you. I love you guys too much in the audience. You're right. I. You know, when you get cancer and I'm good, it was stage one. I want to be dramatic. Like, you know, I. Lymphoma, thankfully, is very treatable, and it was a long time ago, a knock on wood. Thank my Lord and savior, Jesus Christ. But I. It never even occurred to me until you just said that. Like, when I got in the room, I think the. The MD Anderson doctor. The radiation oncologist, was female, and she looked Arabic, but I don't really know. Like, it never even occurred to me. And she said. Because I just. It's not what I. All I was hearing was like, you know, do you have a history of this? Do you have history that. Well, let's look at that. I didn't. It never even occurred to me to be like, maybe I should ask her how she feels about dei.
B
No, it's the same, dude. I. I've. I've gone through a couple of medical things in the last few years. I've gone through some medical things. I've. And I've been forthcoming about this, too. I've got a spine condition. It's called ankylosing spondylitis. So I have a run. I have a rheumatologist. My rheumatologist is a black guy. He is the best rheumatologist in the area. I didn't sign up with him because he's black. I signed up with him because he's the best rheumatologist in the area. That's what. That's what I wanted. I had. I had a woman do. I had an inguinal hernia that I had to deal with. I. A friend of mine had a hernia operation, said, this woman's the best. She did a great job on me. I went with her because she was the best. It wasn't because she's a chick. It wasn't because he's black. It's because I went to them on the merits and. And Dan, it's just like. It's crazy that the left wants us in a world where we're judging people on irrelevant characteristics, that they're. They're agents of chaos. I call them AOCs. They're agents of chaos, and we should
A
stop Falling for this crap, this would have disappeared. That's the great irony of, you know, persistent racism. Racism of course exists. I mean, there's no doubt about it. The only question is on the margin how much of it and what we can do to combat it. However, the margin would have slipped significantly if the left would just stop making race the central focal point of every single issue. And it really is just a division tactic. They don't really care about black or Hispanic vote. They don't really don't give a shit at all. I mean, the second black or Hispanic voters escape the tyranny of like, the awful public school system and start producing at levels of like, Asian and white counterparts and sats and stuff, I promise the left's gonna throw them overboard. And you know what they're gonna call them, Vince? They're gonna call them like white adjacent, just like they call Asians and, and Jews. They're minorities. Why don't they matter? Well, they're white adjacent. Why? Because they, they. It's a, they believe in, like, what? It's, it's, it's the liberals that are holding minority communities down through this crappy, garbage public school system.
B
Who's that? Who's that fake conservative consultant on the View? The Hispanic lady. I forget her name, but she was just saying this week she was. She attacked Marco Rubio. You're making me think of this clip. I don't watch the View, but like, we see the clips, right?
A
Navarro.
B
Anna Navarro. That's right, Anna Navarro. So Navarro, somebody brought up Marco Rubio, I think, as like a presidential candidate or something. And she's like, yeah, but he doesn't stand with Hispanics because they're deporting everybody. I'm like, what kind of two dimensional, mindless horse crap is this? I mean, like, you've got plenty of American citizens of Hispanic descent. Marco Rubio, among them, one of the proudest Americans imaginable. And what, that he would. That he has common cause with illegal aliens because they broke into the country and they happened to speak the same language that he speaks as a secondary issue. It doesn't even make any sense. It's. It's so stupid. And yet this is what passes for, like, legitimate, dignified conversation in these quarters. It. Dan, I am so glad that we are liberated from this crap. I'm so glad that the average American is one wake to it. I feel like a couple years ago there were a lot of people who were lulled into complicity and silence on this because they didn't want to offend you know, the left always exploits your decency. They always try, they always make it. Basically, they're trying to tell you, oh, you don't want to be a bad person, do you? You don't want to be a bad person. And so people stay quiet under that kind of moral blackmail. The reality is there's no reason to stay quiet anymore because we know we're right, we know they're wrong, and we should say it out loud.
A
And you've seen it. I mean, you and I and, and Haley, I mean, Haley's on for, Haley's got like 19 hours of screen time a day or something. Like, how the hell. She's like, you're a rookie, bro. Like, I showed her eight hours on my phone and she was like, ha. She sent me the ha ha, emoticon thing or emoji. She's like rookie, rookie numbers, like, where they were all day. And you and I both know, like, the tide is, it's not just turn like it's like a tidal wave now. Yeah, we're winning now. Like, yo, screw that. I'm not going to play this politically correct bullshit anymore. If it's true, I'm going to say it's true. But last question for you. So I, I, I played another clip earlier in the show. I, I told you, these DSA people, Democrat Socialists of America, are a tragedy, but they're just amazing for content because they're so stupid and enraging. One of them suggested earlier in the show that they should bomb the diaspora community of Iranians and Cubans in Miami and LA because they're the ones who speak out basically the loudest against socialism. It goes back to our point, like, you really believe these people are the moral high ground, tip of the spear at ethics and morality. They hate your guts. They care only about power. Oh, we care about Cubans and all this other stuff and Marco Rubio is terrible. Well, what about the Cubans who were tortured, who escaped to the United States and are living great now and speak out against social. No, no, we should bomb those MFers do. See, they hate you. All they care about is power and you being an acquisition tool for said power.
B
Their only principle is power. Their only principle is power and nothing else. It's. And once Americans every, once every American opens their eyes to it, they will throw the Democrat Party clean out of American politics. But unfortunately, there are a number of people who are still brainwashed into compliance and believing this here. If this Democrat Party was sincere, they'd tell the truth about their own history and racial politics and how divisive and destructive they've been. If this party was sincere about caring about black Americans, they would uplift people like Clarence Thomas, our finest Supreme Court justice, and talk about his wonderful accomplishments on the court. They're not. They're not for any of that. It's all fundamentally about their own power. And the second you stand in the way, they're going to Al Franken you, they're going to Eric Swallow you. They'll Graham Platner you. They will. What they're trying to do right now with John Fetterman, they want to primary him clean out of the party because he is serving as an impediment to their power. It is the only math they care about is the only principle they care about. And once you detect that, man, your eyes are wide open to every scheme they have.
A
Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if Fetterman switches parties at all. I mean, I have no inside baseball on it. I've never even spoken to Fetterman, but I would not be surprised at all. That party is just completely abandoned. Him. He talk about a guy who's done a full, like, 180. I mean, it's unbelievable to see someone change so quickly. I think he went into the United States Senate. I couldn't believe, like, how crazy everything was. That's my guess, folks.
B
I didn't. I didn't think he would come back from it. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I just. Just one point on. On Fetterman, you know, I. Once he had that stroke, I thought he was done for. And it's just a reminder. God works in very mysterious ways. And sometimes it's that kind of confrontation that'll shake you into some sort of realization about what it's all about.
A
I know. I mean, you and I were destroying this guy when he was running. All the crazy he was saying, and the guy does total freaking 180. Never seen anything like Vince Colonnace. This guy here is the king of morning podcasting. Please tune in every day, 0800. It's true. You, like, dominate that spot. You're. You're a top ten conservative new show.

Host: Dan Bongino
Date: July 15, 2026
Guest: Vince Coglianese (Vince Colonnese)
Main Theme: Exposing the threat of radical socialism and media misinformation in American politics, highlighting hypocrisy on the left, and defending results-focused conservative governance.
Dan Bongino delivers a passionate critique of the American political left, focusing on the resurgence of socialism, media hypocrisy, and the dangers he believes these trends pose to Americans and their families. The episode combines Bongino’s personal anecdotes, humor, direct commentary, guest interviews, and “clips in their own words” to showcase what he argues are threats to liberty, prosperity, and constitutional order. A special interview with Vince Coglianese addresses foreign policy, media narratives, and the mechanics of producing news content that resonates with a frustrated public.

This episode is both a takedown of progressive dogma and a practical call for critical thinking, media skepticism, and active resistance against what Bongino presents as dangerous radicalism. It also provides insiders’ commentary about producing political content and not letting frustration—or leftist misinformation—divert focus from results and truth.
Bongino’s advice: Don’t fall in love with politicians; fall in love with results. Be vigilant, stay informed, and don’t be afraid to call out the “stupid,” wherever it appears.
